Chapter 2: Hurt
Treehouse~~~
It was nearly 8:00pm when Challenger, Ned and Veronica heard the elevator creak.
"We're home everybody!" Roxton shouted.
Veronica ran up to them and hugged them, "Oh thank God you're safe! What happened to your shoulder?" she asked Marguerite.
Challenger and Malone walked in to the living room.
"Oh that," Marguerite said, looking to her shoulder, "We kind of ran into some raptors and cannibals. But I'm fine." She smiled at them to reassure them.
"We were worried sick," Challenger said.
After the reunion was over Ned helped Veronica in preparing dinner. "So what are we making tonight?" Ned asked.
Roxton walked into the kitchen and answered his question, "Well I was thinking you could roast a turkey and serve it with a side of potatoes. Also a nice salad and a bottle of London's finest wine."
"Don't forget dessert. How about some ice cream?" Marguerite added, as she walked into the kitchen.
"I thought we could also barbeque a couple of steaks," Challenger added, as he poured himself a cup of water.
Malone and Veronica looked at each other and laughed.
"Raptor meat it is!" Malone decided.
After dinner~~~
Ned and Veronica were talking on the balcony.
"You know Ned, I was thinking." Veronica started.
"About what?" Ned asked.
"Well, maybe you and I should spend some time alone," Veronica said, "You know, go to the beach or something. It's not fair that Marguerite and Roxton get to have all the fun."
Malone was confused. He never expected Veronica to say something like that. "Oh. Umm. Of course. Sure," Malone didn't know what to say. He was so surprised, "That's a great idea Veronica. Yeah, just you and me."
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow we'll pack a picnic basket and head for the inland sea!" Veronica was very excited, "Just the two of us. No interruptions."
Malone couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I can't wait!" Malone said in a voice that was almost too excited.
Veronica gave him a long kiss and headed towards her room.
Marguerite over heard the conversation and decided to have some fun, "Finally Little Ned has got what he has always wanted; ever since he arrived on this plateau. A woman to call his own. So she finally feels the same way, does she?"
Malone blushed. "Go away Marguerite!" He warned.
"Oh no, I've made Little Ned angry. What shall I do?"
"Oh leave Ned alone Marguerite," Roxton said, as he grabbed Marguerite's shoulders and pushed her towards the kitchen, not even noticing the wound.
"Ouch! Let go!" Marguerite said as she looked at her shoulder and then at Roxton. He immediately let go. Marguerite started rubbing the spot Roxton squeezed.
"I'm sorry, but you were being rather rude to Ned out there. You know how he feels about Veronica and every time you say something like that you make him feel like a fool," Roxton yelled, "Sometimes you can be such a mean, cold person."
Marguerite was surprised at Roxton's anger. Roxton saw the fear in her eyes and started to apologize but Marguerite stopped him, "There's no need to apologize Lord Roxton. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to bed." She walked out of the room.
"What have I done?" Roxton asked himself.
Roxton decided to apologize to Marguerite. When he got to her room he heard her sobbing softly. Roxton walked into her room and noticed that she was holding onto her shoulder.
"Marguerite I'm." Roxton began.
"What the hell do you want?" Marguerite interrupted.
"I know that I was a little."
"A little? A little is not what I would say. Now GET THE HELL OUT!" Marguerite yelled.
"But Marguerite."
"OUT!" Marguerite said, "This is my room and I say I want to be alone." She sniffled.
Roxton left as Marguerite began to cry again.
She didn't think the man she loved so much could hurt her so badly.
